Hmm alright those look pretty nice too good ideas..
On a seperate note, i like the way the subs in op light up (cheesy ik) but its the way i am i guess and can the amp handle the subs? I don't understand how to know whether a amp can put out maximum efficiency for the subs or if it doesnt have enough power..

If I were you I would look around on crutchfield.com and sonicelectronix.com. Quality brands are Alpine, MTX, Rockford Fosgate, Infinity, MB quart, Polk, Pioneer, ect

I was always taught to look at the fuse size and add a 0 for true wattage haha say it has 1 15 amp fuse it like a 150 or say it has two 20 amp fuses it's like a 400. Is that somewhat correct?

I'm not sure what your budget is, but here are a couple subs that wont break the bank, but will hold up and sound good. You can usually find them on amazon cheaper than the dealer websites.

I have a 600W mono amp with 3 20A fuses and the a large about 1000W 4channel with 4 40A fuses. So I think thats fairly accurate
